Frequent use of such a quote first began to appear in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, where in almost every episode, the villains being arrested would say it, but refer to the gang as "pesky kids," rather than meddling. The "meddling" variation did begin to get used (and parodied) frequently in newer productions such as the direct-to-video movies, What's New, Scooby-Doo? and Scooby-Doo, Mystery Incorporated, including commercials such as Direct TV.
